Download and installation

The first thing we have to do is download and install the software.

Download

If you are new to OBS, go to https://obsproject.com/ , select your operating system and download the file.

Installation

After download, click on the installer and run the Auto-Configuration wizard. This wizard will automatically test your system and attempt to find settings that your PC can handle. If you already have it running on your computer you can skip this lesson. However, if you are unsure whether you have configured OBS properly, you may want to run the Auto-Configuration wizard again. No need to reinstall OBS, just click on Tools ➡ Auto-Configuration Wizard.

In the dialog box, select "Optimize just for recording, I will not be streaming"

Click on next to select "Resolution" and "Frames Per Second". If you want to work in Full HD, select "1920 x 1080". For FPS select "Either 60 or 30, but prefer 60 when possible"

In the next lesson you'll start familiarizing with the Graphic User Interface
